Bob The Zombie

[FunkyBlackMage]

Here is the "pilot" for a webcomic I'm starting. This was my first time using Paint, so be forwarned.

I like it.

As far as the art, you did well at keeping the images constant, and it's very colorful.

The storyline seems to have a lot of potential too!

Wait...is that a crotch bulge?

[Mondt]

Nah, it's the overlap that hides the zipper.

Here's my latest one. This is my first comic with both of the characters in the same panel. How does it look?

This is pretty funny! The arms needs a tiny bit of work, but it's good.

[FunkyBlackMage]

Thanks.

I checked out some of your comics and they were pretty good too.

[Big J.]

Thanks. Like most comics, mine started out slow and got better as I did. Hope the same goes for you FBM!

[FunkyBlackMage]

Yeah, the outlines on my people look really sketchy because I have to use MS Paint. I hope to get a Pallete or Photoshop soon.

[Big J.]

Anyone can make a great comic on MS Paint. Instead of just freehanding the curves, use the curved line tool. It works like magic. Heh...black magic.

[FunkyBlackMage]

Hey, just wanted to let everyone know I've got a site for the comic. Its under heavy construction right now, but I've been able to put buttons up.

This may be a coincidence, but this reminds me of Captain SNES. There is a Zombie on that comic whose name is Bob.

Anyway, keep it up. I like it so far.

I use the Gimp for the little image stuff that I do. Which is near nonexistant.

Photoshop no doubt has a tool for something like that.


Yeah, the user. Photoshop is a powerful program but it doesn't do everything for you automatically. If you want smooth lines I'd suggest you take up some learnins in vectoring.

[Locke cole]

hehehehe. You took the zombie name "bob" right off of Captain SNES

[FunkyBlackMage]

It might interest you to know, I've never even heard of Captain SNES. I picked Bob because,and this might just be where I live, when you create some random character out of nowhere, you just dub it "Bob". I also thought "Bob The Zombie" sounded pretty cool (nice abbreviation too "BTZ").

[POS Industries]

Yeah, there's definately no relation to this comic and Captain SNES. Also, Bob was only in zombie form for his first few episodes, after which he became a chocobo. Currently, he is in the form of Juan Valdez and his ass.

Back on topic, the comic itself is actually really well drawn for MS Paint. Also "real live zombie" does make me giggle a bit. Good luck to you!

[Seran]

Interesting. Captain SNES rivals 8-Bit Theatre in humor, but it has a lot more cursing and lot less violence, I'll tell you that much. More incompetent epicness and less competent epicness. You should check it out sometime.

For Bob the Zombie, I expect yours won't be similiar to Capt. SNES's Bob. He uses the Consume ability to transform into different forms. Your Bob's a zombie moving in with a living human.

[FunkyBlackMage]

Thanks for the kind words. As for the site, I have a temporary template up until I can make my own and an e-mail section of the site. A new comic should be up by late tonight or early tommorrow.

UPDATE: New comic is up. I used a new coloring program for this one, tell me how it looks. Also, I've been toying with different head styles for Bob for these early comics. Would it be better like an oval or like a skull?

[Seran]

Hehehe. Fun.

I think it's fine as a skull.

[FunkyBlackMage]

Thanks. Okay, here's something I'm trying out. I call it the "BTZ News Box". Its a strip I'll put out to inform my audience of what's going on with "Bob The Zombie". What do you think?
